Sow in snow?

With the country turning white with snow and ice there can be no doubt that Autumn has turned to winter. Nonetheless a significant number of people are contacting us to ask if it is still OK to sow wild flower seeds!

For a few species like yellow rattle that need pre-chilling before they grow the answer is YES.

For yellow rattle it would be quite in order to scatter its seeds now onto snow.

You will at least be able to easily see where you have sown and the seeds will reach the soil when the snow melts.
